The Gosh Darn Wheel

Well it was down at old ranch eagle where i first ran across

That strange two wheel contraception that upset me in the dust

Simply got up and throwed me romped around upon my head

Shot straight up in lightning order so ike the ranch boss said

T'was a tenderfoot who rode it those wheelings so they say

For his help from new york city out to san francisco bay

He stopped by the ranch house to get himself a good square meal

Never dreamt us boys would monkey with his gosh darn wheel

Started in with arizona when he says to ike mcgill

I guess you found a limit to your bronco riding skill

He said ol' boy but you will find a different deal

When you throw your chaparritas around that gosh darn wheel

Well when he slurs upon my talent makes me madder than a mink

So i told him i would ride him for amusement of the chink

I said if you don't believe me just to get her by the snout

Put a rope around her muzzle and to lead the critter out

Well i done as i requested and i gave the word to go

I pushed the gas to start her and she wasn't very slow

The grade was kinda sloping from the ranch house to the creek

And i went-a tearing through there like a crazy lightning streak

All the boys they went to hollering stay with her uncle bill

Put your spurs in her shoulder turn her muzzle up the hil

Well i done as they requested but my plan it wouldn't wor

When my spurs went in it's shoulders my face went in the dirt

Well the next that i remember i was lying on the groun

Out in front of old ranch eagle with my comrades gathered around

They were putting peach tree poultices on my hide where it was ripped

Some of the boys said arizona you must have gotten whipped

Well i can take the wildest bronco from the wild and woolly west

I can rope him i can ride him let him do his level best

I can ride the toughest steer that ever wore a texas bran

And in any disagreement i can play a leading hand
